Frequently asked in San Diego
What is Medicare and what does it do?
Medicare is the federal health insurance program primarily for people aged 65 or older. It also covers younger people with certain disabilities and people with End-Stage Renal Disease. Original Medicare includes Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). These parts help cover costs for hospital stays and doctor visits. We can help you understand how these parts apply to you in San Diego.
What are the 6 things Medicare doesn't cover?
Medicare generally doesn't cover things like long-term care, most dental care, eye exams for glasses, cosmetic surgery, acupuncture, and hearing aids. It's important to know these limitations so you can plan accordingly. You might need separate insurance for these specific needs. We can discuss supplemental plans that can help cover some of these gaps for San Diego residents. Call us for a free quote.
What are the three requirements for Medicare?
To be eligible for Medicare, you generally need to be a U.S. citizen or legal resident who has lived in the U.S. for at least five years. You must also be at least 65 years old, or be under 65 with a qualifying disability or End-Stage Renal Disease. Meeting these criteria is the first step to enrolling. We can guide you through the process once you're eligible.
How much will Medicare cost me each month?
The cost of Medicare varies based on the parts you enroll in and your income. Most people don't pay a premium for Part A if they've worked and paid taxes for at least 10 years. Part B has a standard monthly premium, which can be higher for those with higher incomes. Part D, for prescription drugs, has premiums that differ by plan.

Does everyone pay $170 for Medicare?
No, not everyone pays the same amount for Medicare. High-income earners pay higher premiums through the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount (IRMAA). Also, Part A often has no premium, and Part D premiums vary widely by plan. We can help you understand these figures.
Is Medicare free after 65?
Medicare isn't entirely free, though some parts have no premium. For example, Part A often has no monthly cost if you or your spouse paid Medicare taxes while working. However, Part B and Part D usually have monthly premiums that can vary. Understanding these costs is key to budgeting for your healthcare in San Diego.
